Going by the buzz, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been approached to star in the Hindi remake of popular Hollywood film, The Fault In Our Stars which originally featured Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort in lead roles.
Rajput, who was last seen in Dinesh Vijan’s directorial debut, Raabta, is currently shooting for his forthcoming film, Kedarnath. The movie, which is being helmed by director Abhishek Kapoor, marks the acting debut of actors Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan.
Kedarnath has already gone on floors with its first schedule being shot across some picturesque locations of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand. It’s during the shoot of the movie in Kedarnath when some crew members heard Sushant talking incessantly about being approached for the remake of Hollywood film. Reportedly, he did not disclose whether or not he has given his nod to star in the film.
Interestingly, a couple of months back, there were reports that Homi Adajania and Dinesh Vijan were keen to remake the movie with Deepika Padukone and Varun Dhawan. Not just them, Dharma Productions’ head honcho Karan Johar was also interested in remaking the film with his favourite Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur.
Now, who is making the movie and with whom, we can know only when Fox Star Studios make an official announcement.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
